when clause in part-of relation #1

Description

@gklyne

With reference to place-v3-example.json, line 161 et seq:

  "part_of": [
    { "id": "http://www.mygazetteer.org/place/Greece",
      "when": {"timespans": [["-750","640"]]}
    }

I'm concerned that when interpreted as RDF, this may not mean what it is intended to mean. But first, I'd like to clarify what its is intended to mean ;)

My guess is that it is intended to express that Athens (the containing Feature) was a part of Greece during the period described as ["-750","640"]. (What I think it actually says is something like the place Greece existed for the described period, but this rather depends on the exact way in which when is specified.)

If my initial guess is correct, I'll supply more details here about why I think this is the case, and offer some alternative patterns that could achieve the presumed intent.

Thanks!
